About the author
Born in Oakland, California, on December 1, 1870, he studied at the University of California, Berkeley, and later did graduate work at the University of Chicago before completing a PhD in philosophy at Cornell. Reliable archival and reference sources describe him as a professor emeritus of philosophy and the founder of Stanford University's philosophy department.
His writing explored big questions about value, logic, and human development. He also contributed to Creative Intelligence: Essays in the Pragmatic Attitude alongside major American thinkers of the period, linking his name with the pragmatist tradition.
He died in 1951. Although he is not widely known today, his legacy has lasted at Stanford, where the Henry Waldgrave Stuart professorship keeps his name in view.
